CFS Now Offering 6.5 Grendel AR uppers and Mags

Hi Guys,
I just got my new CFS flyer last night, and they are now offering 6.5 Grendel uppers in 4 different configurations as well as magazines. They have not come in yet but they are accepting back orders. I put myself down for an A3 20 inch with 4 mags. The rifling twist rate on these is 1 in 9. From a ballistics point of veiw, this is the most interesting calibers that have been developed for this rifle in a long time. The price is $529.99 I think. I will double check and post a link if I can remeber how.

I saw that too. I would love to just get my hands on all the parts...... I'm trying to build one myself and like sticking them together..... But, that's not a bad price, a bit higher than I would like.

I thought that at fisrt too....then........

Hi Mule,
I know what you mean, but when I started looking around for an complete upper the cheapest one I could find was from Alexander Arms and the one I wanted started at like $700.00 depending on the configuration you could easily spend close to $1000.00. YIKES!!!!!
Anyway I have built a couple of ARs as well, and I have to say its a lot of fun....not to mention the accuracy that you can get from this rifle platform, which is the primary reason I am intereested in the 6.5 Grendel.
Not only should it perform well as a target rifle, but it should excel at taking down most medium size North American game. Any way once I get the goods from CFS I will post pictures and give a range report. Talk to you later.

6.5 Grendel

Well I called CFS on Friday and they told me that they expect to start shipping the 6.5 Grendel uppers and magazines this comming week!!!! Man am I ready to put this through its paces, this is the first real viable alternative to .308 that I have seen in a long time. I hope it works as well as I anticipate. Any body else out there pre-order one of these uppers from CFS? If so lets corodinate some range reports and see what we come up with.
